RE: HEARING ON RIGBY AND MORRELL PROPERTY RE: HEARING ON RIGBY AND MORRELL PROPERTY Hearing on the Rigby and Morrell Property South of the Golf Course. Mayor Porter announced that there is a petition circulating, protesting the re-zoning. Mr. Morrell advised that the property was zoned residential when it was annexed in 1964. Developers say people will not build there because of Highway 88 on the north nide, the golf course, sewage ponds, the freeway to the west, and the airport are against residential develop- ment. Mr. Christianson of Christianson Bros. in Salt Lake City showed plans of the Burley Mall and Palm Springs, Calif., Mall; which are approximately the same .size. Mayor Porter stated that the zoning would have been changed if it hadn't been for the flood. Dr. Rigby asked for the same consideration that others get in Rexburg. Another 40 acres was zoned commercial since the flood and are in competiton with them. The planning would take at least two years in which the downtown businesses would have plenty of time to rebuild. There would be no retail stores next to residential. The parking would be a buffer zone to border the residential area. Councilman Barton Jensen moved the hearing be adjourned until October 6, 1976. Councilman Nile Boyle seconded.
